#Minor spoilers here

[anonyhun]

Just watched Wish and like

It's a movie I guess

#It's not a horrible movie but it is on the bottom half of mid #There are a lot of moments where I was like uhhhm #Minor spoilers here #They mention how if someone uses dark magic they can't come back from the edge #This is shortly after the Queen asks if they can find a way to save her husband at least #At the end he's sucked into the staff right? #Why not ask the star if they can't save him #To rid him of the dark influence #Or maybe even ask all the citizens if he should be saved or something #I don't know man #Not tagging this with disney or anything since I don't know how people feel about Wish on here

me last weekend, about to see Nope: hehe hoohoo, this’ll fuck me up good

me, after watching Nope: This thing punched through every callus ever hardened over the calcified pit of my desensitized horror movie-saturated heart, grew an entirely new spectrum of terror, then beat me into a fine pulp with it. My brain chemistry is permanently altered and I can never trust the sky again. The screaming. God, please, please, the screaming. All of them up, in a line, shrunk in flesh and light, and still screaming,

me, less than a week later, about to see Nope: hehe hoohoo, this’ll fuck me up good

#@ all my horror fans out there if you think you're jaded on modern scary cinema #Jordan Peele is here to save you* #*pull your fight or flight response through a meat grinder #anyway go see Nope guys it's wholesome family fun #minor spoilers I guess? #Nope #jordan peele #horror #Nope 2022

got to watch the first shadow again yesterday and i noticed a few small changes they made that i picked up on:

spoiler warning⚠️:

lonnie byers is 25 when joyce is 17-18 and they’re in a relationship (just when i thought i couldn’t hate him more!)

ted wheeler’s father eloped with bob newby’s mother

they had the chapter title card with the theme song play after the interval during the previews but they’ve removed it now (idk why they did, that i genuinely enjoyed it the first time around 😔)

henry and patty were so much cuter together in their interactions (but i can’t tell if it’s because i just had a better view of them this time since i was closer to the stage)

karen childress volunteering to read lines with patty so she gets to kiss her (i’m not sure if this is a ‘karen likes girls too’ or ‘karen likes to kiss’ kind of situation)

eleven with henry at the end is around 4-5 years old and no longer a baby

#only sharing this here because i know some people may not be able to watch it and these are minor details anyway #but SPOILERS!! regardless! #the lonnie byers one genuinely had me like huh😰 #the first shadow #stranger things #the first shadow spoilers

[vaguely-concerned]

I have seen people question whether dios apate minor really needed to happen the way it did. it's the 'this could have been an email' of htn. 'augustine this did not have to be a threesome', I hear people saying. and boy do I have an obnoxious amount of things to say to protest this perfectly sensible assertion so here we go haha

1) yes it absolutely had to be like that. It says so on this piece of paper *hands you a piece of paper that says "because I said so and also it's narratively and thematically Sexy"* in my half-legible handwriting. seeing tamsyn muir describe harrow the ninth as a book about being a kid and realizing your parents probably had sex has given me such validation, I am unstoppable now. (to be serious for a moment, harrow the ninth is essentially a bildungsroman, and the threesome scene does a whole lot of thematic heavy lifting around harrow glimpsing elements of adulthood, relationships, and sexuality she clearly finds at the same time repulsive, bewildering and fascinating, and around opening her and especially our eyes to how much john is just a man with human longings still, under the god stuff. dios apate is crucial plot- and character-wise too -- it's a loadbearing threesome in terms of delivering the clues you need to piece together the mystery plot of the book, which is simply delightful -- but even more so thematically. and then the scene at the end where they confront john gives gideon some of that same opportunity to peek into adulthood and go '...well shit I guess', as a sort of mirror, just without the french kissing that time and more murder. the things magnus and abigail model for the girls about love and adulthood? mercy and augustine are providing the opposite-day batshit insane version of that fhdskjfa, you know, for contrast and spice)

2) listen... it gets lonely out there in deep space with your 'legendary unamorous' brother, two infant pathetic baby kitten sisters who you'll probably have to kill one day when you take another stab at god if they don't manage to get themselves killed along the way on their own, and the two people you've spent the last ten thousand years having separate yet connected married & divorced arcs with and also btw one of them is god... honestly a threesome over the dinner table is probably The most well-adjusted reaction one might hope for under those circumstances

3) on a characterization level I think Augustine is actually doing something incredibly deliberate with it: he's presenting John with yet another chance to admit what he did. which is notable especially since the deal he and mercy agree on as a condition for the threesome to happen at all seems to be that they're going to give the ol' godslaying another game try sooner rather than later. (I get the sense that it's not so much that he disagrees with her ultimate goal so much as that he thinks she's being dangerously indiscreet and hasty going about it, before. “though I think it will be the death of us,” huh.)

notice how he's structuring the whole thing: he's invoking the intimacy and love in their strange little threeway relationship and how long it's been by truly playing along with john's 'we're a happy family really when we're at home! :)' delusion (helped along by lowered inhibitions via enormous amounts of alcohol and what I've previously described as a joint mercy/augustine leyendecker themed thirst trap. ah, a classic). he brings up alecto and what happened to her -- or rather, he is clever enough to make john bring up alecto and how she is totally dead, right?? by seeming to make a careless statement that leads there and then acting contrite about it after. he (helped along by mercy, who I think realizes exactly what he's doing -- this is very much a two-man con) brings up how much they all loved their cavaliers, and wow funny how that's been haunting us for ten thousand years now huh :) wow, a lot of our other lyctor friends slash family sure are super dead in the name of some unknowable greater reason neither of us quite grasp and that you won't fucking tell us, aren't they. these are all the main grievances he and mercy confront john about at the end of the book, but put forth much more subtly and not phrased as an accusation -- he's baring his and mercy's vulnerabilities as bait, essentially. if john had, say, a conscience where his conscience should be instead of a black hole, it probably should have stirred something in him.

(also let me just say... the way augustine just takes a pneumatic drill to the TWO tender spots g1deon seems to have and then has the audacity to be like 'oh dear. did that upset him. ooof my bad *loooong dead-eyed slurp of his wine*' is just sooo... he's such a bitch!!! he's the only person who could ever have held their own in a ten-thousand-year bitch-off with mercy and I love him so much. well even if it wasn't all to get g1deon into murder range for harrow I think he wouldn't enjoy sticking around for the 'getting our tongues on god' part of the evening so maybe it's a kindness, really, and totally not pent-up aggression from the last twenty years or so breaking through)

he is all but shaking john by the lapels begging him to just... come clean about it already, to stop thinking he's still kidding everyone else along with himself. it's clear throughout the book that augustine knows exactly what john is at this point -- and all of the most cynical things he does say about it turn out to be distressingly right. john is always less sentimental than you'd think. john wouldn't forgive mercy, he will abandon in a heartbeat anything that isn’t necessary to him anymore, whether emotionally or in some other way. and still he seems to hold out some desperate absurd hope that the man he wants, the man he thought was there, is in there, somewhere deep deep down, if he just gives him the chance to show himself.

(mercy definitely has her own side of this whole thing, I'm just focusing more on augustine because this evening was like. his idea in the first place and I feel like we can Read Some Things into that fact lol. now that we have both ntn and htn to go from I sort of have this sense that the things augustine wants from john are more... personal? more interpersonal? they both love him equally, but mercy's love seems tinged slightly more towards the religious (augustine accuses her of knowing 'only worship without adoration', which like... also the eight house's entire Vibe lol) -- mercy at the end of that book is totally a person breaking up with GOD, not just with john -- while augustine's vibe is more like a man in the last not-with-a-bang-but-a-whimper days of a marriage that sort of felt like it could have been something real and good once but all your illusions about it have since been taken from you and trampled underfoot into the mud and you've had the divorce papers signed and ready in a drawer for over a year now, hell, as it turns out, is other people etc. lmao)

having a threesome over the dinner table with god is one thing, having a threesome over the dinner table centered on the one man and god who has yet again let you down in a way so fundamental it can barely fit into words and who you both still love in a way anyway, miserably, and also just reaffirmed your joint resolution to murder (all under the pretense that it gives your baby sisters the chance to murder your brother of ten thousand years yeah that's why this is happening no other underlying aching emotional motivations here haha)... listen mercy and augustine are simply on a different level, theologically. they've added horny shrimp colours to the religious spectrum. who else does it like them

ok I don't think we as a fandom talk about the way Vash cries blood enough

we only see it once or twice from what I remember, the one definite time being here ^ when the puppet attack first begins & he's dealing with the emotional agony of seeing so many of his family turn into puppets.

so it's clearly something that comes out only when he's in severe emotional distress.

the interesting thing is that Wolfwood is fucking TERRIFIED of him bc of it.

whatever this moment is, Vash is giving off the same sort of oppressive energy that Wolfwood's experienced with Knives. it's the first time during their travels that he's really been forced to recognize What Vash Is. he knew it of course, saw him in Jeneora, but he's such a goofy guy it's easy to forget.

but whatever Vash is doing here, it makes Wolfwood Incredibly aware of what he is.

so the real question i think is What exactly is going on here? is it unintentional? is it simply a response to the emotional agony?

Vash isn't the type to indiscriminately terrify everyone in the vicinity on purpose. he wouldn't be doing this purposefully out of anger while Wolfwood's there. no, in this moment, he's not even angry at all. he's Distraught.

going from This

to this

in just a moment.

yeah. that's some fucking emotional agony. i dont think Vash is doing this entirely on purpose.

but THEN...

as both Leonof and Wolfwood stare at him in fear, Both feeling his oppressive energy, Vash then lets out some sort of blast that blows against everything between him and Leonof. it doesn't destroy anything, doesn't even injure him, but it's a physically tangible effect that scares the Shit out of Leonof & spurs him into motion.

there may be some anger involved in this moment, but it's not the hair-trigger rage you would expect from seeing his family turned into puppets. it's something Quiet, something almost cold. he's distraught, Resigned, & retaliating just because he has to.

Vash hates all of this. he doesn't want to fight him. he fucking Knows this guy too, knew him as a kid, & none of this makes sense. but he knows that he needs to fight him, & doesn't have any kind of choice.

but he's not happy about it. not in the slightest.

#speculation nation #fanny reads trigun #fanny's trigun analysis #trigun #trigun spoilers/ #trimax spoilers/ #adding that tag for tag goers. since this is a very trimax moment. #im just fascinated by the implications here. there's so much we don't see about Vash's abilities. him and Knives both. #there's the implication that he can read people's minds in the way he sometimes responds to thought boxes #and also the entire mental conversation he has with Legato. NONE of this is brought up. #the way Knives created that tree. they obviously can generate vegetation just like their sisters. or at least Knives can. #Vash creates that barrier. which I see as an extreme manipulation of gravity to prevent anything from going through. #and of course there's the explosions. with the angel arm theyre huge. #but then we see at least once Vash turn his finger into a lil canon. aka it can be done in a smaller form #and also the implications of him just making Bomb Bullets? mini versions of his giant explosions? What?????? #so it brings the question of What If they could do these things on smaller scales? would Vash be capable of minor manipulations of gravity? #would Knives be able to just generate a fruit in his hand? #so many weird little things!!!! and we have no idea!!!!!! #but ykno what me as a fanfiction writer my entire PURPOSE is to extrapolate from canon. which includes their weird ass powers. #aka im going to make assumptions from the little bits we see in canon and im gonna RUN with them #definitely looking to do something with This moment too. Vash's oppressive energy... it will Definitely be fun.

you ever think about how happy and excited the ninja were at the beginning of the series and how they have since been through so many unimaginable traumas and had to watch their family die over and over again they aren’t the same happy kids anymore? also you ever think about how now that they’re finally healing whilst training the next generation, and these new kids are only scratching the surface of the danger and high stakes that come with the job?? cuz i do, all the time

so i made an amv based on my feelings and the lucky one by taylor swift was literally written with ninjago in mind and you cannot convince me otherwise

I hadn’t really committed to any symbolism for the winner of Secret Life. I know Earth is popular but I wasn’t really into it.

I got to hop into Martyn’s lore stream for a few minutes before acknowledging that my bedtime was hours ago and I really need to sleep but in those few minutes the chat opened my eyes to a possibility I had never considered but know in my heart to be true

All of this is to say I am firmly on board Team Death Star!Scar. Both for the bit and also completely unironically.

Mulling on it a bit while I'm packing and i really am thinking on the check percentage thing from a design and feel standpoint

The thing with the checks in the game is there's of course the jest of RNG being so so evil, but jokes aside I think they really do contribute to a feeling of *risk*. When theres a knowledge you can fail something, the concept of succeeding is worth more. When you fail something you could have succeeded in, it's a far more brutal failing.

This needs to be balanced correctly of course - loosing out on something plot related due to the whims of chance isn't good and isn't fun, and would be kind of bs - but at the same time there needs to be this level of risk.

I think this in part contributes to part of why many ES feel minimal to no tension for late game players usually - you always 100% the checks, there's never any risk there, there's no semblance of a challenge. You're completely, and 100% safe. Which is why it is so notable to us playing when this *isn't* the case. Almost brings back the feeling of 'no, not even you' from the horticulture event.

That level of not always being in control is neccesary for a plot to hit properly, especially in a horror game. And I think having these percent chances with varying level of risks really play into the build up of tension.
